Upping the Happy

Lisa Spangler, whose style I adore, reports that she's a bit obsessed with gouache. After reading her gouache posts, and seeing all the cool stuff she's been making, I promptly went to the local art supply store and bought a few tubes. They were a bit more expensive than I anticipated, so I realized I needed to hold off before getting any more got a few more tubes from amazon. As much as I love to support brick and mortar stores, they were a LOT less at amazon.

And here's what I made (don't you think we need to up the happiness right about now?):

This linen cardstock works beautifully for this type of card because you can see the texture through the gouache and it easily holds up for a one layer card. No warping at all.

See what I mean?

Very easy to make. And unlike, most efforts, this came out exactly as I imagined first try. Truth!!!
